Abstract

Over hundred new a priori global/local molecular descriptors that encoded steric, topological,
electronic, hydrogen bonding, compositional and hydrophobic properties were generated for 16
ß-lactams, and two partial least squares regression models were constructed and cross-validated.
These a priori models (Q2 > 0.80, R2 > 0.95, SEV < 0.50) are comparable with the previously
obtained computed models. ß-Lactam intramolecular and ß-lactam-receptor intermolecular
interactions are also discussed in terms of molecular descriptors.

Keywords

gram-negative bacteria; multidrug resistance; ß-lactam antibiotics; quantitative structure-activity relationships; exploratory analysis; chemometrics
